Need to root your device.
Use Towelroot.
Then install ES File Explorer.
Then enable Read/Write support on /system and / folders in the settings.
Grant superuser access to ES File Explorer.
Now you will see extra folders and can change/edit files.
Only on KitKat Firmware, on Lollipop firmware you need to flash SuperSU Rooting, a lot more difficult.

After ES File Explorer being installed, it will ask for permission. In there, you can grand the permission accordingly.

There are some other alternatives to File Explorer like Android Assistant, you can use it to transfer all the media files and SMS, contacts.
